PREFACE

T7MFTY years ago Josiah Quincy published an ex-
haustive history of The Boston Athenaeum. Since
that time no volume has appeared to chronicle later
events. Frequent calls for information in regard to
history and tradition, funds, gifts, and other pertinent
facts, together with the need of a new list of Proprietors,
led the Trustees in 1906 to authorize the Librarian to
prepare a Centenary Volume which should satisfy this
need, and at the same time serve to commemorate the
completion of one hundred years.

Those who are familiar with Athenaeum history and
affairs will miss many portraits which they would have
liked to see in this volume: the faces of Joseph S.
Buckminster, Nathaniel Bowditch, Thomas Wren Ward,
Edward Wigglesworth, William H. Prescott, Henry B.
Rogers, George Livermore, Edward N. Perkins, Charles
Eliot Norton, Charles E. Ware, Robert W. Hooper,
Francis E. Parker, J. Elliot Cabot, Francis Parkman,
Francis B. Crowninshield, George W. Wales, Charles
R. Lowell, Lemuel Shaw, Charles Deane, Edward J.
Lowell, Charles A. Cummings, and others. But when
the final selection was made it seemed difficult to go
beyond Presidents of the Trustees, Librarians, and

Vlll

PREFACE

the chief Benefactors of the institution, except by admit¬
ting more portraits than would be possible without far
exceeding the sum set aside for the publication of the
volume.

No portrait of John Bromfield has been discovered,
and this must be a lasting cause for regret to every reader
who has seen Mr. Bromfield’s name within the covers
of Athenasum books. The portrait of Miss Hannah
Adams, from the original in the Trustees’ Room, is, as
Emerson might have said,

“Its own excuse for being.”

In many cases statements here will be found to differ
from those in other books. It would be too much to
say that these are never errors ; but by a careful study
of manuscript sources many corrections have been made.
To illustrate : Daniel Webster subscribed to the fund to
purchase Washington’s library, and his name has always
appeared in the list of contributors, although he never
made payment. Joseph Coolidge, who subscribed and
did pay, has never before received recognition in the
list.

The view of Scollay’s Buildings is reproduced by
permission of F. E. Belcher, Esq., and that of the Amory
house by permission of Edward W. McGlenen, Esq.
To several others acknowledgments are due for aid or
for helpful suggestions, and especially to Mr. Charles
N. Baxter, who has contributed much to the accuracy
of the volume.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE ATHENAEUM
ON LITERATURE IN AMERICA

By BARRETT WENDELL

The influence of the Boston Athenaeum is a fact not so
much in history as in the memories, and in the lives
of those who have had the happy fortune to know and
to feel it. At least hereabouts — and they still pleas¬
antly pretend that true Bostonians regard the universe
as radiating from the newly gilded dome of the State
House — there has never been anything else quite
like this truly social library, now grown to its hun¬
dredth year. It is in no sense a private place, yet it has
qualities of privacy as fine as those of houses where the
very fact of your reception is in itself a subtle pleasure.
It is not a public place, where the whole world may
jostle you until you wonder whether in some better
world than this you may find yourself, if you are good
here, among angels without elbows ; yet it has the
impersonal generosity of such publicity as makes your
presence in its halls and alcoves a cordial matter of
course. It is not a haunt of solemn scholarship, dedi¬
cated to the almost religious pursuit of learning, as if

THE BOSTON ATHENTTJM

in erudition lay salvation ; yet it is no mere play-room,
where you go to free yourself from the benumbing
habit of responsible duties. If one may phrase its
whole quality at all, it is the one place in our old capital
city of New England where those who seek what they
may find in the humanity of books have most surely
found the same throughout years which have lengthened
into a full century.

Memory, after all, is the true custodian of such a fact
as this. There must be many of us now who knew
these pleasant, cool rooms when we were children.
There must be many who remember how we used to
climb the vanished Sumner staircase, and look into the
big reading-room, where silent figures were seated at
tables, with mysterious alcoves about them, containing
tiers of books which made the books at home — however
numerous in themselves — seem like a mere handful.
There must be not a few who can recall the higher
ascent still which brought us to the first picture-gallery
in all our experience — a vague, splendid expanse of
color and imagination. Its grandest images, to be sure,
were no more masterly than that colossally unsteady King
Lear, more melodramatic with his upturned gaze than
he ever ranted on any stage ; or than the distorted
harmonies of Allston’s “Belshazzar’s Feast”; or than
what Dean Briggs once playfully called the austerely
sheepish face of Stuart’s “Washington.” Yet the Louvre
itself, or the Uffizi, or the Prado never revealed to us
again quite so vast a sense of how fine art can open our

INFLUENCE OF THE ATHENAEUM

way to unconditioned aspirations of the spirit. The
Athenaeum has never taught us to be critical ; yet it
has never suffered us to be smugly content. There is
ineffable charm in the outlook from its quiet windows,
on the old burying-ground where the Boston generation

which Copley painted lies secure. Their gray stones _

particularly in the warmth of summer when the grass
springs about them and the trees grow rich with shade —
bring us fantastic intimations that this world of ours
springs from a root deep in ancestral New England soil.
And we turn from this assurance of our fellowship
with our fathers to the persistent voices of elder ages and
of younger, whispering from the friendly array of books
here within our very reach.

That instant intimacy with literature is what the
Athenaeum has come to mean to us above all things
else. In other libraries you may find greater wealth of
learning, and far more completeness of special authority ;
but this is the only one hereabouts where you may
stray at will, and lay your hand on any volume, on
any shelf, just as you may in your own house or in
the house of a trusty friend. In every other such
treasury of letters you find inevitably that you are not
free to roam, but must avail yourself of the service of
some licensed guide. FI ere, for once, the whole para¬
phernalia of catalogues and of skilled and kind attend¬
ants — who grow to be your friends — are not obstacles
in your way, but only helps, to whom you may turn if
you find yourself at fault. Unless you seek them, you

THE BOSTON ATHEN/EUM

need never be reminded that they are here. If you seek,
you shall find with a certainty beyond the general hope
of this perplexing earth.

So, yielding to the reverie which carries you so
swiftly from childhood to the verge of age, you can
hardly fail to realize that these hospitable rooms, them¬
selves rich now with the associations of more than fifty
years, are the sanctuary, beyond all others, where the
lovers of books in our New England have found their
happiness with the most unerring certainty. Quite to
understand what this environment means, one must have
known its gentle charm for oneself. But each of us, like
the elder folk who knew all this in days now fading into
shadow, can hardly feel sure that such sentiments are
more than chance associations, making precious to our¬
selves relics in which others can discern only vacuity.
To reach assurance we must go beyond our own
dreams and fancies, searching and exploring record of
what these regions truly were in old times.

By a happy chance, such a record exists in the
archives of the Athenaeum. For a great many years
the simple custom of the library was to write down in
a book just who took volumes away to read, and
how long he kept them. No trace remains of what
pages these men and women turned in the pleasant
seclusion of the library ; but by inspecting these
brief records of what they carried home, we can form
some notion of what they sought and found in the
cordial surroundings where the friendly inspiration

INFLUENCE OF THE ATHENAEUM

of letters so surely lingers. It is a still more happy
chance that when the records were most fully kept
Boston was at what now seems to have been its best,
awakened from the wholesome provincialism of its
stout origin, and not yet thrust into the renewed pro¬
vincialism of its comparative isolation. In these old
pages you will find names remembered still, not only
hereabouts, but across the continent, too, and across
the seas. Not one of them, either, but is of ancestral
New England race; and when these men and women
flourished, New England was most nearly great.

They naturally fall into two groups. One consists of
those who came to the Athenseum just as most of us
come to-day — not as to a laboratory or a workshop, but
as to a refuge where one may confidently consort for a
little while with the full humanity of the present and the
past. The other consists of those whose labors, chiefly
of a literary kind, were helped to fruition by such gen¬
erous access to learning as the Athenasum has always
afforded. To feel with certainty what the influence of
the Athenaeum has been, we cannot do better than glance
at these groups in turn, noting some of the more familiar
names in each.

The record of Hawthorne’s occasional visits to the
reading-room is familiar to those who care for his work
enough to delight in that most individual phase of it, his
“Note-Books.” For nearly thirty years, Rufus Choate
found here plenteous food for that voracious reading by
means of which he kept his wits alert and alive amid

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

the most busy legal practice of his time. He read the
classics, Greek and Latin ; poetry unstintingly ; sound
fiction and essays, English and French ; Goethe, too ; and
he seems to have delighted in the bound volumes
of Punch. George Barrell Emerson, whose teaching
stamped with distinction the minds of a whole generation
of New England women, and whose writings are still
authoritative concerning our native trees, read here not
only his botany, but all manner of things besides —
delighting most, one would gather, in standard literature.
Edward Everett came here sometimes, though his own
library, like George Ticknor’s, was so large that he had
little pressing need of books not actually in his pos¬
session ; those which he is recorded as using are
mostly classics, ancient and modern. His brother-in-
law, the Rev. Dr. Frothingham, in the same years,
read all manner of literature here, with eager catholicity
of taste. Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe was a great reader,
too ; but at least in our Athenaeum records he seems
to have been more severe in purpose, taking out vol¬
ume after volume on Philosophy and Science, on His¬
tory and Political Economy, on Education, Physiology,
Hygiene, the Mind, and the Brain. Dr. Parsons, the
translator of Dante, showed insatiable appetite for
fiction and biography. President Quincy is recorded
as incessantly exploring literature; Calderon, Mrs.
Opie, Milton, Voltaire, Cervantes, Fielding, Byron,
occur in his page, almost side by side. And in six
years Daniel Webster found leisure to borrow from

INFLUENCE OF THE ATHENAEUM

the Athenaeum six books — Sophocles, the Fables of
La Fontaine, a volume of Parliamentary History, an¬
other of the History of Greece, Sparks’ edition of
the Works of Franklin, and the Diable Boiteux of
Le Sage.

The other group, of those who used the Athenaeum
rather as workers than as readers, instantly reveals that
the Athenaeum, in its older days, was a real contributory
force to the enduring literature of New England. This
is perhaps most evident in the matter of history. The
record of George Bancroft is considerable, and consists
almost wholly of works concerning history, biography,
and voyages of discovery. So does that of Dr. John
Gorham Palfrey, who made considerable exploration of
statistics as well. The books used by Francis Park-
man generally had direct bearing on the life work which
makes his memory as heroic as it is delightful. The
same is true of those used a few years before by the
earliest of our memorable New England historians,
William Hickling Prescott. Jared Sparks came here
sometimes for historical books. So, for general litera¬
ture, did George Ticknor, in spite of his own rich col¬
lection, so close at hand. And Dr. Alexander Young
used here the kind of books which made him so
memorable an editor of our early New England
records.

It was at the Athenaeum, too, that some of our more
speculative writers sought solid basis for their variously
enduring flights of speculation. Bronson Alcott used

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

the library frequently. So did William Ellery Chan-
ning, whose range of serious reading seems to have
been exceptionally wide. James Freeman Clarke read
here omnivorously. The record of books drawn by
Emerson is unusually large and heterogeneous. And
George Ripley seems to have found here no small part
of that fervid intellectual stimulus which made him,
in his younger days, so powerful a force in the philo¬
sophic renaissance once expected to remake creation on
the Boston plan.

When we come, furthermore, to that less definite
kind of literary activity conveniently called culture, the
records are not lacking. George Hillard came here
sometimes. Edwin Whipple came often. Charles
Sumner sought here some of that widely various read¬
ing on which the more amiable phase of his restless mem¬
ory is based. And Dr. Holmes, who began as a grave
reader of works on medicine ended as a riotously general
reader of everything which could possibly interest his
humanely assimilative mind ; his record, indeed, makes
one half believe that without the Athenaeum we might
never have had, in its full luxuriance, that wonderful
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.

We might go on indefinitely. Hannah Adams, the
first of the thousands now lying in Mount Auburn,
was the first woman admitted to the use of our literary
treasures. Lydia Maria Child read here sometimes; and
so did Elizabeth Peabody. Sometimes President Felton
came; and Richard Hildreth used the library; and so

INFLUENCE OF THE ATHENiEUM u

did that most accomplished of New England gentlemen,
the last vividly remembered bearer of the historic name
of Edmund Quincy.

Local enough all this may seem to any one dis¬
posed to smile at our Boston traditions. And even
those of us who remain provincial enough to imagine
these traditions important might shrewdly question the
authority of such records as we have cursorily glanced at,
and summarized. The fact that people signed their
names for books need not mean that they ever actually
read them. Nor does the fact that somebody has read
a good many volumes in any given place imply that
he has not read more elsewhere. Yet it is hard to
believe our memoranda insignificant.

It is a real truth that the Boston of the mid-nine¬
teenth century, whatever the positive value of its thought
and expression, was the most memorable centre of intel¬
lectual activity yet developed in English speaking
America. It is a real truth that the names we have
hastily repeated were among those which helped make
Boston memorable. It is a real truth that, in the Boston
of their time the Athenaeum was already such a centre
of humane influence as we who know it to-day know it
still to be. It is a real truth that, time and again, they
visited it as a shrine of learning, confident that here they
should find awaiting them something of what they sought.
It is a real truth that each and all of them were happily
and never ignobly productive. And thus considering
them, we may grow to feel that our sentimental love for

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

the Athenaeum has a double consecration. It is not only-
consecrated by our reverent acknowledgment of all it has
done for ourselves ; it is consecrated more deeply still
by our growing and enduring conviction that just such
significance, in elder time, made it a force for righteous¬
ness and for inspiration amid that generation to which
we point, and to which our children shall point, if any
one dare to question whether our pride in New England
be justified.

THE FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS
OF ATHENAEUM HISTORY

By THE LIBRARIAN

THE FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF
ATHENAEUM HISTORY

By THE LIBRARIAN

The intellectual life of the nineteenth century in Boston
grew out of a love for books that can be traced back to
colonial days. The Governor and Company of the
Massachusetts Bay in 1629 accepted from Mr. William
Backhouse eight books “to be sent for New England,”
and also approved for purchase several titles selected by
the Rev. Samuel Skelton. But this library, if it ever
reached America, had as little influence in Boston as
did the more famous collections of William Brewster at
Plymouth and of the Rev. John Harvard at Charlestown.
The earlier demand for new publications was satisfied
through private enterprise, and many booksellers had
established quarters near the Town House before the
end of the seventeenth century. Nearly thirty are
known to have flourished there, offering their importa¬
tions as well as works from the local presses. Literary
activity before the year 1700 became so great that
printers in Boston and Cambridge were forced to turn

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

away orders, and New England authors had to send
some of their manuscripts to England to be put in
type. These conditions were peculiar to Boston, for in
1719 Daniel Neal, a traveller, stated that all around the
Exchange were booksellers’ shops, while in New York
there was but one, and “ in the Plantations of Virginia,
Maryland, Carolina, Barbadoes, and the Islands none
whatever.”

Bookstores, however, are not libraries of reference.
The need of such a library was early felt, and Captain
Robert Keayne, in his will dated in 1653, attempted
to meet the demand by making provision for a “ Library
& Gall ere for Devines & Schollers to meete in.” To
it he bequeathed his sermons, or expositions of the
Bible, and such of his books, “whether Divinitie,
Hystory or Milletary,” as his appointed friends might
choose, “ not simply for show but properly for use, they
being all English, none Lattine or Greeke ; . . . and
though my bookes be not many, nor very fitt for such
a worke being English & smale bookes, yet after this
beginning the Lord may stirr up some others that will
add more to them & helpe to carry the worke on by
bookes of more valew, antiquity, use and esteeme.”
In this quaint language Captain Keayne set forth his
desire for a library in the town of Boston, and it was to
be not for show but for use.

In March, 1656-7, a committee was appointed to
consider the model of a Town House, and in 1658 the
building was completed with the help of subscriptions

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS 17

from one hundred and four citizens; it occupied the
site of the present Old State Elouse. There is little
reason to question the existence of a library in the
building soon after 1658, although it was doubtless
small and for a few years not very important. In
I^73“ 4 John Oxenbridge, calling himself “a sorry
man, less than the least of all the mercies and ser¬
vants of Christ,” left several theological books, Euclid’s
geometry, and a catalogue of the Oxford Library “ to
the publick Library in Boston.” 1

The Town House was destroyed by fire October 2,
1711, and Judge Sewall in a letter some months later
states that <c in our Boston Library several valuable
Books were lost, as the Polyglott Bible, the London
Criticks, Thuanus’s History, a Manuscript in two Folios
left by Capt. Keyn the Founder; &c.”

Some books doubtless were saved and formed part
of a new library in the brick Town House which rose
on the same site the next year, since the treasurer of
Boston asked in June, 1713, that all books belonging
to the Town Library be returned to the New Town
House.2

In I733> Colonel Thomas Fitch headed a subscrip-

1 Samuel Mather’s “ Testimony from the Scripture against Idolatry & Su¬
perstition” bears at the bottom of the title-page “ ffor the publike Library at
Boston 1674.” If the book was printed as early as 1674, about which
there is some doubt, this is the only book of this early Boston library that
is known to have come down to us. — See Massachusetts Historical Society
Collections, iv., volume 8, pages 12, 23.

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

tion to procure books for the Town Library, and £yo
was raised for the purpose. There the books must
have been when the building was burnt December 9,
1747, since a number of “ ancient books ” are said to
have been destroyed at that time.

This first library in Boston is of considerable interest
historically, having existed for nearly a century. Al¬
though very unpretentious it was widely known, and
the Rev. John Sharpe of New York, appreciating its
value and still greater possibilities of usefulness, referred
to it in 1713 when he suggested for his own town a
library to be open every day and to all men.1

Meanwhile the King’s Chapel Library of some
two hundred theological works had been sent over
by command of King William III in 1698; it was
a welcome mark along the pathway to culture in
Boston, and still remains, being the oldest library in
New England. It has survived fire and war, and
now rests in the custody of the Athenasum.

Four generations, and perhaps five, of the Mather
family were collectors of books. In the Life of Increase
Mather the author speaks of a fire in 1676 which de¬
stroyed Mather’s house, “ but by the Gracious Provi¬
dence of God he lost little of his Beloved Library : Not
an Hundred Books from above a Thousand; of those
also he had an immediate Recruit, by a Generous Offer
which the Honourable Mrs. Bridget Hoar made him,
to take what he Pleased from the Library of her

Deceased Husband.” In 1686 we have a picture of
the collection from the pen of Dunton the bookseller:
“I may say, That Mr. [Cotton] Mather’s Library is
the Glory of New-England, if not of all America. I
am sure it was the best sight that I had in Boston.”
Part of this collection found its way into the American
Antiquarian Society’s library at Worcester; and part of
the Mather library of the Revolutionary period (esti¬
mated at over 7000 volumes in all) is said to have
been burned at Charlestown during the battle of Bun¬
ker Hill.

Thomas Prince, famous locally as minister of the
Old South Church until his death in 1758, began upon
entering Harvard College July 6, 1703, to collect books,
pamphlets, maps, and manuscripts “either published in
New England or pertaining to its History & Public
affairs.” When Prince entered upon his pastoral duties
in Boston in 1718 he deposited the books which he
then called The NEW-ENGLAND-Library “in the steeple
chamber in the old South Church,” supposed to have
been his study ; at the same time he began to collect
works of use to clergymen.

In 1726 Prince had attempted to raise funds for
a lending library, which Judge Samuel Sewall called
an “inconvenient schem.” He was, however, just a
generation ahead of his time, for subscription libraries,
organized by a group of persons and known as Social
libraries, came into prominence between 1760 and 1765.
A considerable interest was manifested throughout New

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

England, but in Boston no such project took permanent
form. The field was left to the King’s Chapel, Prince
and Mather collections, and also to private enterprises
such as commercial circulating libraries. From the
time of Mein’s first venture in 1765 these circulating
libraries form a slender thread leading through the
revolutionary years up to the opening of the nine¬
teenth century.

John Mein, an Edinburgh bookseller, arrived in
Boston in October, 1764. Having brought with him a
quantity of books, linens, etc., he opened a store with
Robert Sandeman, nephew of the famous preacher, and
advertised many wares including English and Scotch
Prayer-Books as well as Edinburgh beer and porter by
the cask or dozen. Mein soon dissolved his partner¬
ship with Sandeman and in 1765 opened a bookstore
and circulating library in King (now State) Street, “ at
the London Book-store, Second Door above the Brit¬
ish Coffee-House.”

In 1765 Mein advertised a catalogue of his twelve
hundred books ccin most branches of polite literature,
arts and sciences.” In an address to the public Mr.
Mein stated that a number of gentlemen had encouraged
the venture which, “ tho’ fraught with amusement, has
been hitherto unattempted in New England.” It
would “amuse the man of leisure” and “insinuate
knowledge and instruction under the veil of entertain¬
ment to the Fair Sex.” Here was certainly an attempt
to improve the intellectual life of the town.

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

The ambitious proprietor increased his business by
starting The Boston Chronicle in 1767 and by printing
several books ; but he opposed the plan to boycott
goods subject to stamp duties, and in his newspaper
upheld the colonial policy of the British government.
This so irritated the public that in October, 1769, he
was mobbed. In defending himself he shot a grena¬
dier and so thought it best to seek safety on a ship in
the harbor. A few days later he sailed for Great Britain,
where he soon made himself known to Lord Dartmouth
and communicated his views of affairs in America.

In May, 1784, William Martin advertised in the
Independent Chronicle that a “ Library of Bibles and
other Books” could be found at his shop near Seven-
Star Lane, Main street; and among his business con¬
temporaries were Benjamin Guild, William P. Blake
and William Pelham, all well known in their day.

The founding of the American Academy of Arts
and Sciences in 1780 and of the Massachusetts His¬
torical Society in 1791 were both significant events in
the awakening of Boston after the close of the Revolu¬
tion. The Boston Library Society, organized in 1792,1
is more nearly akin to the Athenaeum in organization
and aims. Like the Athenaeum, also, it has for over a
century withstood war and panic and the desire for con¬
solidation, happily pursuing its quiet and prosperous
course. Associated with these literary societies were
Caleb Gannett, the Rev. Jeremy Belknap, the Rev.

1 See Samuel S. Shaw’s Historical Sketch, published in 1895.

THE BOSTON ATHENiEUM

Joseph McKean, Redford Webster, the Rev. John Eliot,
Caleb Bingham, the Rev. Joseph Eckley, and others.

At this time the intellectual interest of the commu¬
nity found expression along many lines. Literary, pro¬
fessional, and scientific clubs were founded, some with
periodical reading-rooms and others with collections of
books for their members, and lecture courses grew in
favor. It was in this environment that the men who
founded the Boston Athenseum were bred.

In 1801 Phineas Adams, son of a farmer in Lex¬
ington, graduated at Harvard. He was a shy, diffident
lad, whose poverty had forced him early to seek em¬
ployment in a paper-mill. Mrs. Hannah Foster, author
of “The Coquette” and other popular novels, became his
patron, prepared him for college and encouraged him to
write.

In 1803 Adams persuaded Edward Lincoln, a Water
Street bookseller, to undertake with him a magazine
which he was to edit under the name of “ Sylvanus
Per-se.” In the first or November number of the
Monthly Anthology ; or Magazine of Polite Literature ,
Adams promised essays “ On Manners and Liter¬
ature, on the Improvement of Taste, and the En¬
couragement of Genius.” His trenchant words “ to
Correspondents ” — possibly imaginary ones — did not
tend to encourage literary contributors, and through

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

lack of manuscripts or funds or both, the project soon
languished. Adams withdrew after the April number,
1804, and Munroe and Francis of Court Street took
over the publication, having secured the Rev. William
Emerson as editor.

The magazine became broader and more vigorous
with the seventh or May number. Mr. Emerson en¬
listed several learned men in its support, Dr. Benjamin
Waterhouse, the Rev. John Eliot, the Rev. John
Sylvester John Gardiner, the Rev. Joseph Tuckerman,
Peter Oxenbridge Thacher, Winthrop Sargent, among
others; and the editorial notes came to have a pleasant,
friendly tone that suggests communications to members
of a club rather than to subscribers. In 1805 these co¬
workers formed a society and its constitution was signed
on the third of October. The members of this society
for about six years met regularly to conduct the
Monthly Anthology and Boston Review as it was now
called. “Its labors,” said Quincy, “may be con¬
sidered as a true revival of polite learning in this
country, after that decay and neglect, which resulted
from the distractions of the Revolutionary War, and as
forming an epoch in the intellectual history of the
United States.”

The Boston Athenaeum had its origin in the Anthol¬
ogy Society. At a meeting in Franklin Place, October
23, 1805, it was voted “on motion of Mr. Emerson,
seconded by Mr. Shaw, that a Library of periodical
publications be instituted for the use of the Society.”

THE BOSTON ATHENiEUM

In May the project was again urged by Mr. Shaw, who
prepared a prospectus bearing the title “ Proposal for
the establishing of a Reading-Room in Boston, to be
called The Anthology Reading-Room.” The room was
to be open from nine to nine and the dues were fixed at
ten dollars.

An eight page circular,1 2 dated January i, 1807,
heralded the new enterprise, stating that it already had
one hundred and sixty subscribers, rooms in Joy’s
Buildings/ Congress Street, and several hundred books
received from the Society or acquired by gift and pur¬
chase. It was to be an institution “ similar to that of the
Athenaeum and Lyceum of Liverpool in Great Britain.”
The final plan permitted the rooms to be open from eight
in the morning until nine at night; but no books or
papers could be taken out. Newspapers from Virginia,
Kentucky, South Carolina and nearer states were to be
on file, with English and French reviews and periodicals.

In October, 1806, the Anthology Society had trans¬
ferred the Library to five trustees, William Emerson,
John Thornton Kirkland, Peter Oxenbridge Thacher,
William Smith Shaw, and Arthur Maynard Walter.
The Library was incorporated as the Boston Athenteum
on February 13, 1807, and the corporation organized

April 7th. One hundred and fifty shares at $300
each were authorized to provide adequate funds, and
the Library was established in the early spring of 1807
in Scollay’s Buildings, Tremont Street, now the site of
Scollay Square. The Library in the new rooms grew
rapidly, both by purchase of books and by frequent
gifts. In October, 1807, the Athenaeum received from
a number of citizens who had associated themselves to¬
gether under the title of “The gentlemen adventurers
in Bowyer’s historic lottery ” a set of Hume’s History
of England, and these handsome folio volumes may still
be seen upon the shelves. The “gentlemen adven¬
turers” were: Stephen Higginson, James Lloyd, Junr,
Samuel G Perkins, Isaac P Davis, Thomas H. Per¬
kins, Thomas L. Winthrop, John Prince, Junr, Daniel
Sargent, Joseph Lee, Junr, Thomas Lee, Junr, Thomas
C. Amory, David Humphrys, Timothy Williams, John
T. Sargent, Henry Sargent, Samuel Eliot, Jonathan
Mason, and John Davis.

Mr. Shaw, who served both as Secretary and Libra¬
rian, kept in frequent correspondence with the Rev. Mr.
Buckminster, then in England ; Buckminster did much
for the Library that would now be put in the hands of
an agent, and much also that depended upon his sole
judgment. At this time Shaw wrote : “ The establish¬
ment of the Athenaeum ... is one of the greatest
strides toward intellectual advancement that this country
has ever witnessed.”

Nor should its wide field be forgotten. A pamphlet

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

published in May, 1807, named the objects of the
Athenaeum : a Reading-Room, a Library, a Museum,
and a Laboratory.1 The last object had been provided
in September when Mr. Godon, writing in regard to a
series of lectures on chemistry, stated that the Athe¬
naeum would no doubt provide him with apparatus on
easy terms.2

In 1809 the proprietors felt the need of an entire
house to ensure quiet and to provide ample space ;
the residence of Rufus G. Amory, Esq., north of the
King’s Chapel Burying Ground was purchased ; it was
built of wood, rough cast, and had been the home of
Dr. Caner, the loyalist rector. The Athenaeum used
three rooms, one for periodicals and newspapers, one
for the library, and the third for a collection of books
lent by John Quincy Adams.

Mr. Shaw’s published memorials show how busy a
life he led in these rooms. Almost daily there were
letters to be written to learned friends in this country
and across the sea, asking aid, advice, and books. Many
wrote to him about the founding of the Athenaeum, and
when in New England they visited him. He referred
to the Library as the institution “ I most cherish and
love.” Through the dark period of the war of 1812 he
kept it alive, and was so active that people called him
“Athenaeum Shaw.” After years of devotion his ser¬
vices as Librarian closed January 23, 1823. In 1824
the Trustees asked him to sit for his portrait, and in

1826 he passed away, having given the best of his life
without pay, and a considerable property, to the Boston
Athenaeum.

Mr. Shaw kept in a blank-book during 1821-1822
a record of the duties which the janitor performed from
day to day. It is a delightful compound of rules, pre¬
cepts and soliloquies. Under i. those duties “not to
be omitted ” are given entire, and under ii. those “ to be
performed as opportunities may offer ” are printed in
part :

“Every morning — Sweep the News-rooms, dust the tables,
chairs, &c. and the Library-room. After breakfast clean the
Lamps, & Lamp-room ; see that all the books are in their
places and even with the shelves.

Monday & Thursday mornings sweep the Library-room Sc
clean everything thoroughly ; put clean sand into the spitboxes,
and paper and pens into the desks.

Saturdays sweep the first alcove and stairs. Clean the stoves
and hearth every other Monday.

Every day clean some of the Books and wax them.

A place for everything & everything in its place.

A box of Snuff is wanted.

If we could have a Binder in the house it would be a great
advantage.

The books in the 12th room are very much exposed, as
every person can have the key & boys & girls spend hours in
the room. Should not this be stopped & no person allowed to
enter but with a proprietor ?

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

I should think that a labil should be pasted in all our Books
if for no other reason than to distinguish them from those
deposited, etc., etc.”

The Athenaeum began early to pluck the fruits of
other movements. The apparatus of the Society for
Cultivating Philosophical Knowledge was purchased in
i 807. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences
deposited its books with the Athenaeum in 1817, and
the collections remained under one roof most of the
time until the year 1899. In 1823 the Library of
King’s Chapel and the Theological Library were turned
over to the Athenaeum ; the Boston Medical Library
followed in 1826, and the Massachusetts Scientific As¬
sociation’s Library the same year. Thus, in a single
generation the Library had absorbed several well-known
collections of books in Boston.

For the surprising hold which the Athenaeum had
upon the affections of Boston people at this time much
was due to the presidents of the period, John Lowell
(1816-1819) and Josiah Quincy (1820-1829). They
saw very clearly the need of a building, and with their
advocacy the subject grew in importance. Fortunately
James Perkins, Esq., offered to give to the Athenaeum
his mansion house ; it was situated in Pearl Street, then
an old time thoroughfare, beautified by stately houses
and shade trees. The Library, which exceeded twelve
thousand volumes, was moved in June, 1822, from
Tremont Street to Pearl Street. The books were for
the first time divided into classes, and then into minor

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

divisions ; each division was assigned to a bookcase.

A room was devoted to casts and other works of art,
including a portrait of Mr. Perkins by Gilbert Stuart.
Stuart himself was made a life member “ as a testi¬
mony of respect for his eminent ta/ents.” New by-laws
were put in force, and the dues of annual subscribers,
which had been advanced to $ 12 and then to $18 a
year, fell back in 1823 to $10.

Through these years John Lowell was devoting his
best energies to obtain a lecture hall in connection with
the Athenaeum. Subscriptions could not be raised suf¬
ficient to meet the entire cost of the proposed addition^
and as there was to be a deficit with the completion
of the building the proprietors could not agree upon
the policy to be pursued.

The plans called for a lecture hall and an academy
of fine arts, with quarters for other societies. The
scheme to unite “in the Athenaeum the principal circu¬
lating libraries of the city ” aroused new fears in the
minds of many proprietors, who in this period of
library centralization had not the faith to believe that
the Athenaeum was fulfilling its destiny in literary
Boston. At a meeting held in 1826 the more opti¬
mistic party prevailed ; the proprietors voted to begin
the lecture hall, and chose a building committee with
Thomas H. Perkins as chairman. At this critical time
the Perkins family, — Thomas H. Perkins the brother,
and James, the son of the first benefactor, — offered to
the trustees, on certain conditions, sixteen thousand dol-

lars, a considerable sum as measured by the standards
of that day, and greater still if measured by its value to
the struggling institution. In 1821 one hundred new
shares were authorized, and now in 1826 fifty more
were authorized and sold, bringing the total number of
shares to three hundred. Thus, through generous gifts
and money received from the sale of shares, lectures and
art exhibitions were made possible.

A step forward was taken in December, when pro¬
prietors were allowed, on payment of five dollars 1
annually, to take out books, three volumes at one time;
these might be kept a month. On written request for
a book the Librarian was to hold it one day for the per¬
son requesting it. The delivery of books was between
12 m. and 2 p. m. daily, Sundays excepted.2 The
library itself was open at eight in the morning except in
June, July, and August, when its treasures were acces¬
sible as early as six. The Athenaeum at this time was
supported and cherished by an influential body of pro¬
prietors. That it did not satisfy the intellectual hunger
of all the citizens is evident from the following notice
in the Boston News-Letter and City Record for Feb¬
ruary 25, 1826 :

“What literary advantages have the mass of our citizens de¬
rived from the Athenaeum ? Who gets a peep within its lofty
walls without a ten-dollar bill ? And what genius owes its ex¬
pansion to the liberal facilities of the Boston Athenaeum ?

1 This fee was maintained in the face of vigorous opposition later on.

2 Quincy’s History, page 108.

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

“ When the poor are favored with admission to study the
neatly fitted up shelves of books which adorn the Athenaeum,
we shall be convinced of the necessity as well as worth of it,
and not before. Things are becoming quite royal in our vener¬
able old city : money buys a ticket for the wealthy to read the
Hebrew language, while the industrious, worthy portion of the
community, may intellectually starve upon a six-penny al¬
manack.” 1

The next progressive step was to benefit a wider con¬
stituency, although it hardly can be said to have come
in response to the above notice. A gallery of casts had
been opened in the new building in December, 1826.
But Boston had steadily grown in importance as an art
centre, and art exhibitions were much desired. To test
the public interest a loan exhibition was opened May
10, 1827, under the management of the Athenaeum. It
was composed almost entirely of pictures lent by private
owners, but so good was the attendance that in two
months the gross receipts amounted to $4,ooo.2 A
young Harvard graduate in a letter dated June 3, 1827,
bears witness to its immediate success :

“The famous exhibition of pictures at the Athenaeum is now
all the go , and it is, I think, well worth visiting. Besides many
pieces of the Old Masters, as they are called by the amateurs
and virtuosos , there are several portraits of living persons, which
attract no inconsiderable attention. Miss Marshall is not there.
But the celebrated Miss Howe, whose picture Miss Stewart
painted as that of the Boston Beauty , and the two daughters of

1 Boston News-Letter , 1826 (v. 1), page 116.

the Russian Consul (whose name horribile dictu I never pro¬
nounce and shall not attempt to write), are there.” 1
*

The cc old masters ” were almost entirely of the Dutch
school. Lawrence’s Benjamin West copied by Leslie,
which now hangs in the Reading-Room, graced this first
exhibition, and there were portraits of Washington and
Adams by Stuart, and a miniature of George Canning,
lent by Daniel Webster.

The Art Gallery of the Athenaeum soon became very
popular, as the following notice of the second exhibi¬
tion which was printed in the Columbian Centinel for
May 24, 1828, attests :

“Athenaeum Gallery. All the world, as they say in
France, was at the Gallery yesterday; and good judges pro¬
nounce the exhibition, in many respects superior to that of last
year. The pictures from the Jefferson Collection are much
admired ; and great credit is given Mr. Jones for the excellent
arrangement of the whole Gallery.”

The Trustees soon began to collect works of art for
the Gallery, and the names of West, Trumbull, Sully,
Allston, Stuart, Panini, and Harding appear in early cat¬
alogues. The portraits of George and Martha Wash¬
ington by Stuart, known as the “ unfinished portraits,”
were purchased in 1831 from the artist’s family for
$1,500, an absurdly small sum it now seems for these
invaluable pictures.2 The works of Crawford, Green-

ough, Clevenger, Powers, Ball, Frazee, and other sculp¬
tors, were acquired from time to time for the “ Sculpture
Gallery.” At the Athenaeum Audubon’s engravings of
birds were first seen by the public ; and here also manv
American works of art first became known, some to
grow in fame, others to pass into utter oblivion. To
record the names of generous donors of these years
would be beyond our space; but the Library correspond¬
ence shows how wide was the influence of the Gallery.1

Ghosts claim an important place in the history of
any ancient library. The Athenaeum ghost made its
appearance in 1842 and was vouched for by Nathaniel
Hawthorne, then a young bachelor who frequented the
Reading-Room. His experience one April day was
described long after under the title “ The Ghost of
Doctor Harris ; ” it was reprinted in the Living Age ,
February 10, 1900. From the tale I take a few sen¬
tences to describe the “ Doctor,” who was Thaddeus
Mason Harris, a well-known clergyman.

“ That very evening a friend said to me : ‘ Did you hear
that old Doctor Harris is dead?’

“ ‘ No,’ said I, very quietly, ‘ and it cannot be true ; for I saw
him at the Athenaeum to-day.’

“‘You must be mistaken,’ rejoined my friend. ‘He is cer-

a room in the third floor fifty by sixty feet, and twenty feet high. Below
this story there was a lecture room capable of holding five hundred people.
On the ground floor were rooms for scientific lectures and for learned
societies. Emerson and many other famous men came to the Athenaeum
building to give lectures.

tainly dead ! ’ and confirmed the fact with such special circum¬
stances that I could no longer doubt it.

• • • • • • •

11 The next day as I ascended the steps of the Athenaeum, I
remember thinking within myself, 1 Well, I shall never see old
Doctor Harris again!’ With this thought in my mind, as I
opened the door of the reading-room, I glanced towards the
spot and chair where Doctor Harris usually sat, and there, to
my astonishment, sat the gray, infirm figure of the deceased
Doctor, reading the newspaper as was his wont ! His own
death must have been recorded, that very morning, in that very
newspaper ! ’

• ••••••

“I remember — once, at least, and I know not but oftener —
a sad, wistful, disappointed gaze, which the ghost fixed upon
me from beneath his spectacles ; a melancholy look of help¬
lessness, which, if my heart had not been as hard as a paving-
stone, I could hardly have withstood. But I did withstand
it ; and I think I saw him no more after this last appealing
look. . . .”

Mr. Edward C. Guild in his “ Letters, 1832-1899 ”
shows that the boys of his day feared no apparitions
lurking in the dark alcoves.

“ The Library,” he writes, “ was not so much used
then as now. Old Mr. Bass was Librarian, and at
one time a young English boy, Fisher Keeler, was
employed there, with whom some of us who fre¬
quented the Library formed an alliance, and we used
to play marbles with him on the floor of the long
alcoves, where we were rarely interrupted by any older
person.”

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

III

The Library in forty years had increased until it
contained about 37,000 volumes ; the shelves were
very much crowded, and the rooms afforded inade¬
quate space. Pearl Street was surrendering to the
inroad of commerce, and a site for the Athenaeum more
central, and at the same time quiet, became imperative.
Permission to sell the Perkins house was obtained and
the Trustees decided to move to a plot of land fronting
on Tremont Street, and running back to Court Square.
The money for a new building was to be raised by
disposing of the Perkins house and other property, by
subscriptions, and by the sale of new shares. Two
hundred and thirty-eight shares were issued in 1844
and 1845, the land was secured, and plans were drawn
by George M. Dexter for a library, art, and office build¬
ing. Later, sentiment developed against offices, and
the Trustees were instructed to sell the land on Tre¬
mont Street and to purchase the Phillips estate on Bea¬
con Street with an outlook on the Granary Burying
Ground.

Three designs were submitted in March, 1846, for a
building on the new site. The one by Edward C.
Cabot was accepted; Messrs. Dexter and Cabot, the
two architects, then joined forces for three years, and
prepared working drawings. It was found necessary
to obtain permission from the city to carry part of
the rear wall on an arch above several ancient grave-

THE BOSTON ATHENTiUM

stones, so that the southern faijade might avoid an
awkward indentation due to the irregular boundary-
line.

The corner-stone of the new Athenaeum was laid
April 27, 1847. The accepted design represented a
building one hundred and fourteen feet long, sixty feet
high, and, with the exception of a grass plot in front,
extending from Beacon Street to the Granary Burying
Ground. The facade was built of Paterson freestone,
which was hard in texture. The interior of the build¬
ing was designed in the alcove style, then customary in
university libraries. The cost exceeded the original
estimate of $59,000 about three times; this estimate, it
should be said, was not made by Mr. Cabot; but the
excess occasioned some discord and resulted in a
further issue of shares. The building proved, however,
to be one of the most dignified in Boston, and at once
increased the influence of the library. Entering the
vestibule the room at the left on Beacon Street was
occupied, until 1899, by t^ie American Academy; at
the right rose the imposing “ Sumner staircase,” torn
out in 1889; back of these and looking upon the
Granary was a Reading-Room at the right, and beyond
this was “the long room,” called the Sculpture Gallery,
now a Periodical Reading-Room. The second floor
was occupied as now by the main Reading-Room, and
the third floor was used as a Picture Gallery.1

1 A view of the Art Gallery on Beacon Street, painted by E. Mene-
ghelli about 1875, hangs in the Library.

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

The library of nearly fifty thousand books was moved
to Beacon Street in July, 1849.

Charles Folsom consented a year or two earlier to
accept the office of librarian ; it was at a time when the
position began to call for ability while by custom the
compensation was still meagre. Mr. Folsom was a
scholar, a kindly, helpful man, whose chief service as
Librarian at Harvard had been to broaden and liberalize
the administration. He felt that there was work to be
done at the Athenaeum, and in a letter to Samuel A.
Eliot he expressed his views freely :

“ The office of custodian has, so far as I know, always been
satisfactorily performed at the Athenaeum. Not so, I believe,
the other branch of a librarian’s duty. By dispensing , I am
far from meaning only the finding of the particular volumes
asked for, or the recording of the titles of such as are borrowed.
I mean quite another ability in the librarian, — an ability to
‘bring forth, out of the treasure’ committed to him, ‘things
new and old.’ ”

Mr. Folsom advocated a policy more liberal toward
Bostonians, not shareholders, than some proprietors
might approve ; but his attitude toward strangers has
the true ring: “ Let the far-off student in the Valley of
the Mississippi, who is vainly hammering at some liter¬
ary task for want of books, and ignorant perhaps as to
the existence of the best books on his subject, understand
that, when he comes North in the summer, if he will
present himself at the Boston Athenaeum or Harvard
University he may chance to clear off a year’s docket of

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

doubts in a single day.” At this period there was no
public library in Boston, and the attitude of the Athe-
nseum toward scholars was of importance.

A new and larger building would have lost half its
value had the power to purchase books been diminished.
The year 1846 was, therefore, memorable for the gift
of ^25,000 from John Bromfield, a wealthy merchant,
for a permanent fund, the income in part to be spent
for books, and in part to be added to the principal.
This gift has yielded $194,269 for the purchase of books,
and the fund now amounts to $io6,426.1

If the new rooms lacked <c atmosphere ” they were
not long in gaining associations through the presence of
famous men. Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his <c Passages
from American Note-Books ” (Boston : 1868, volume 2,
page 151), under the date May 5, 1850, writes: —

“Yesterday I went to the Athenaeum, and, being received
with great courtesy by Mr. Folsom, was shown all over the
edifice from the very bottom to the very top, whence I looked
out over Boston. It is an admirable point of view; but, it be¬
ing an overcast and misty day, I did not get the full advantage
of it. The library is in a noble hall, and looks splendidly with
its vista of alcoves. The most remarkable sight, however, was
Mr. Hildreth, writing his history of the United States. He
sits at a table, at the entrance of one of the alcoves, with his
books and papers before him, as quiet and absorbed as he would
be in the loneliest study ; now consulting an authority, now
penning a sentence or a paragraph, without seeming conscious
of anything but his subject. It is very curious thus to have a

1 No portrait of Mr. Bromfield could be found to insert here.

glimpse of a book in process of creation under one’s eye. I
know not how many hours he sits there ; but while I saw him
he was a pattern of diligence and unwandering thought. He
had taken himself out of the age, and put himself, I suppose,
into that about which he was writing. Being deaf, he finds it
much the easier to abstract himself. Nevertheless, it is a
miracle. He is a thin, middle-aged man, in black, with an
intelligent face, rather sensible than scholar-like.”

In a letter dated February 27, 1851, Mr. Folsom’s
assistant gives this picture of life at the Athenaeum :
“ With the exception of the noise of the hammers in ye
entry, all is quiet here, and much as usual : Mr. P — ’s
feet grace the table as they were wont of old, — Admiral
Wormeley revels in the English papers, and Dr. Eaton
sits serene in his accustomed place.”

Scattered through books and papers are many refer¬
ences to the Gallery and the Library. The significant
events in their early history have been artistic and lit¬
erary rather than administrative; and many pleasant
paragraphs could be gleaned from volumes of letters and
reminiscences. The artist, Mr. H. Winthrop Peirce, has
spoken gratefully of the Athenaeum Gallery, for the most
part “a black and dreary collection,” but relieved from
time to time by Millets, Corots and other inspiring
works of art.1 He adds : “ It affected Hawthorne
to such a degree that in his Note-Books he speaks of

having made a gain in art culture when he could see that
one oil painting was less disagreeable than another.” 1
The Gallery, which was at this time probably more
widely known and more popular than the Library itself,
was of course open to women ; but it rarely, if ever,
occurred to the Proprietors to ask permission for their
wives and daughters to go to the bookshelves. The
Athenasum was a man’s institution, jealously guarded,
although in a few cases great pressure or conspicuous
merit served to force the barriers. In March, 1829,
the Trustees voted to give free use of the Library to
Miss Hannah Adams, the historian, a relative of Presi¬
dent Adams and also of Mr. Shaw. Said Mr. Quincy :
“ One solitary female ventured to claim the freedom of
its alcoves, and to endure the raising of the masculine
eyebrows, provoked by the unaccustomed sight.” Here
Miss Adams passed many hours a day in study, and was
locked in while the Librarian went to lunch. Her sweet
face, as portrayed by Chester Harding, has since looked
down upon several generations of Athenaeum readers.
A few years later Miss E. P. Peabody and Mrs. Lydia
Maria Child were given permission to visit the Athe¬
naeum. The Trustees voted in 1832 to allow Mrs.
Child to take out books until further notice without
paying the customary fee, and she wrote a most ap¬
preciative letter in acknowledgment of this unusual
courtesy. In 1833 s^e published an “ Appeal in Behalf
of that Class of Americans called Africans,” an argument

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

in favor of immediate emancipation ; it was widely read,
and rendered the author extremely unpopular among a
certain class in Boston. Years after the period of these
events she told how the Trustees, embarrassed by her anti¬
slavery views, withdrew the privilege previously given;
and this story has formed an interesting paragraph in
popular sketches of the Athenaeum. If Mrs. Child’s
memory is reliable some trustee must have said or writ¬
ten that her presence was no longer desired. But the
privilege was to last until taken away by the Board,
and the Trustees’ Records contain no rescinding vote
during the years immediately following that in which the
“Appeal ” was issued.

With the opening of the building on Beacon Street
some of the Trustees advocated more liberal treat¬
ment of women, both by admitting them to the staff
and as readers. Mr. Folsom, however, was so opposed
to this policy that he felt called upon to address to
the Trustees a long protest, setting forth that the con¬
struction of the present building on Beacon Street, with
its narrow galleries and steep staircases, was an insu¬
perable objection which should “cause a decent female
to shrink.” “ Nor is it desirable,” he writes, “ that a
modest young woman should have anything to do with
the corrupter portions of the polite literature. A con¬
siderable portion of a general library should be to her a
sealed book.” Mr. Folsom concludes that the pro¬
posed concession to women “ would occasion frequent
embarrassment to modest men.”

THE BOSTON ATHENTiUM

Mrs. Harnden, the first woman employee of whom
we have record, came in 1857; Miss Mary A. Bean and
Miss Sarah E. Gill came soon after as assistants to Mr.
Charles Russell Lowell, who was preparing the manu¬
script for the great printed catalogue. Miss Gill, a
cousin of Henry Stevens, agent for American books for
the British Museum, joined the Athenaeum staff in De¬
cember, 1859; she had previously been employed by
Benjamin F. Stevens, who rented a room in the Athe¬
naeum basement.

Mr. Folsom devoted his energy largely to developing
the use of the books upon the shelves, while his suc¬
cessor, Mr. Poole, came much in contact with the Stevens
brothers, and interested himself in the search for valuable
collections of books. At about this time one third of
George Washington’s own library, left at Mount Ver¬
non, with other books collected by Judge Bushrod Wash¬
ington, were purchased by Henry Stevens and stored in
the Merchants’ Exchange building, now the Subtreasury,
in Wall Street, New York. Daniel Coit Gilman, later
president of Johns Hopkins University and first presi¬
dent of the Carnegie Institution, was then a lad, enjoy¬
ing his vacation; he saw the books and offered to make
a catalogue of them on cards. This catalogue was sent
to Boston, where it interested several wealthy gentle¬
men and thus led to the purchase of the collection for
the Athenaeum.1

1 A Catalogue of the Washington Collection, books by and about the
first President, was printed in 1897 in a handsome volume, prepared by

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

Several other groups of books in the Athenaeum are
worthy of special mention. The collection of books
and newspapers printed in the South during our Civil
War, formed by William F. Poole, is said to be the most
extensive in the world. The great collection of rare
American pamphlets, made by William S. Shaw during
the early days of the Athenaeum, is unrivalled. There
are also valuable sets of early American documents, an¬
nuals, almanacs, broadsides, as well as volumes relating
to international law, Shakespeare, Byron, Gypsies, and
several other subjects.1 Single volumes of interest are
the Breeches Bible, Eliot’s Indian Bible, a volume from
Edward Gibbon’s library, one from the library of
William Brewster of Plymouth, and the Memoirs of
Walton, a highwayman, bound in his own skin.

The Athenaeum had already absorbed many libraries
that once served the community. It had held sway
for half a century at the centre of an intellectual city.
Now, for the first time, it was to face a formidable rival
in the new Public Library, which was backed by great
financial resources. It was in some danger of absorp¬
tion — like the fish which, living for years upon its less
fortunate fellows, may itself be devoured at the last.

Appleton P. C. Griffin, the well-known bibliographer of the Library of
Congress. His notes, and those which Mr. Lane appended to titles in the
Inventory, form a storehouse of information. An elaborate Index to the
Catalogue, made by Mr. Franklin O. Poole, appeared in 1900.

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

The Boston Public Library had been slowly taking
form since 1841. An enabling act was passed by the
Legislature in 1848 and organization came in 1852.
Several Proprietors of the Athenasum were prominent
in this movement, and upon its successful issue they
advocated the absorption of the Athenasum by its youth¬
ful rival. George Ticknor, signing himself “An Old
Proprietor,” published in the Boston Daily Advertiser ,
March 14, i853,an appeal for consolidation, describing
the crises through which the Athenaeum had passed,
saved first by Mr. Lowell and Mr. Perkins, aided in 1826
by Dr. Bowditch, and in 1850 by John E. Thayer. / The
Athenaeum was threatened with a proposed issue of new
shares, while the Public Library had the city’s resources
behind it and also several large gifts. Among those who
followed Mr. Ticknor were many well-known proprietors.1
It certainly seemed as though the Library that had out¬
lived so many others was to meet its Waterloo.

The “venerable Mr. Quincy,” as Mr. Ticknor called
him, was asked at this time by George Livermore to
make an attempt to save the institution, and his ring¬
ing “ Appeal” opens with no uncertain tone: —

“The proposition is nothing less than this, — that one of
the oldest monuments which patriotism and public spirit, and
the love of learning, in this country, ever raised, — which has
been supported and enlarged, during nearly fifty years, through
a succession of difficulties of various kinds, by the unremitted

Boston, 1853.

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

labors of generous, self-sacrificing men, — should, in this palmy
moment of individual and city prosperity, when wealth was
never more abundant and public spirit never more active, be
surrendered up by those to whom its founders entrusted it, and
its property be delivered over to the care of a political body,
annually shifting its members, and changing principles and
policy with every turn of party or passion. Such I understand
to be in effect the proposition ; and, in my judgment, it is un¬
just, unwise, and unprincipled.

“ Let us spurn the intimation, included in the very proposal
of this ‘ Old Proprietor,’ that the present proprietors of the
Athenaeum have less energy, less fidelity, and less spirit, to
meet the exigencies of the institution, than their predecessors.
At a time when this institution possesses the most substantial
and beautiful Library Building in this country, and one which
will compare favorably with any in the world, — of a value not
less than two hundred thousand dollars , and wholly paid for, — a
Library containing more than fifty thousand volumes , — a large
and most valuable collection of pamphlets, — books of the most
rare, splendid, and costly character, daily augmenting by the
liberality of its friends and benefactors, — the richest collection
of pictures and statuary in America, — the whole property of
the Athenaeum being in value not much less than half a
million dollars, with the Bromfield Fund for its increase, now
amounting to twenty-seven thousand dollars, — the institution
wholly out of debt, and wanting nothing but a fund adequate to
meet the yearly occurring expenditures , and to add to the power of
the Bromfield Fund in the department of new books and periodical
publications , — at a time when this institution is, in truth, in a
higher state of prosperity than it was at any one of those periods
when our predecessors rallied to its aid, and not only supplied
its wants, but elevated its fortunes,. — at such a time, are we
ready to abandon its fair hopes, and give ourselves up to de-

we content to put our lingers in our eyes, and whine about

created with the expectation of difficulties ? Has it not met
difficulties during fifty years and gloriously surmounted them all ?
Let us away with such unmanly fears, and nobly resolve, 4 out
of this nettle,’ difficulty, 4 to pluck the flower,’ success.

The meeting to decide the fate of the Athenaeum
was held March 28th ; a parody, handed to Miss Eliza
S. Quincy at the time, describes the scene: —

On Beacon, when the sun was low.

The young, the old, the fast, the slow,

Were rang’d in many a solemn row,

Throughout the Sculpture Gallery.

President Cary reviewed the history of the institution
while the crowd gathered. They adjourned to Freeman
Place Chapel ; and Samuel A. Eliot moved to appoint
a committee to report on the legality and expediency
of selling the Library to the City. This was lost “ by
a large majority.” On a motion of Hon. F. B.
Crowninshield the Proprietors voted not to sell “ because
we believe that by so doing we should act contrary to
the wishes and intentions of many of its founders and
benefactors, and to the best interests of Literature and
Science in this Community.” The parody concludes : —

■

The vote is taken ! On ye brave !

The Credit of your Scholars save —

Wave, L[ivermor]e, thy proxies wave!

Charge on the “ Old Proprietor ” !

Ah, few shall part where many meet.

Without a laugh at that complete
And unequivocal defeat,

And glorious minority !

The new shares, which were authorized on account
of the large amount expended in completing the Beacon
Street building, were taken by subscribers during 1854-
1858, making in all 1049 shares issued. The chief
purchasers, who became virtually benefactors, were :
Dr. George C. Shattuck, John Amory Lowell, Nathan
Appleton, Josiah Bradlee, George Williams Lyman,
David Sears, Martin Brimmer, John Eliot Thayer,
John Chipman Gray, William Sturgis, and the Execu¬
tors of Thomas H. Perkins, Samuel Appleton and
Robert Gould Shaw, Sr.

Mr. Poole came to the Athenaeum in 1856, from the
Mercantile Library. There he had recently completed
a catalogue of books. The need of a similar catalogue
at the Athenaeum was evident, and Mr. Poole’s experi¬
ence led the Trustees to make a beginning. The plan,
however, contemplated little more than a title-a-line
list, and the work was intrusted to young and inexperi¬
enced men. The result proved not wholly satisfactory
to Mr. Poole, and in 1862 Charles R. Lowell was given
charge of the work. For the next eight years he

48 THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

steadily carried on the revision, removing defects as far
as was possible without entirely recasting the scheme.
After Mr. Lowell’s death in 1870 Charles A. Cutter,
who succeeded Mr. Poole in 1869, revised and printed
the monumental work in the five volumes now so
familiarly known as the Athenaeum Catalogue. Ezra
Abbot and other bibliographers commended the work
highly for its analytical feature, its cross references,
typographical excellence and bibliographical accuracy.
In all these respects the Catalogue has stood the test
of time, worthy of Mr. Lowell’s and Mr. Cutter’s
scholarship.

A public library, where a large part of the demand is
for current literature, would hardly have been justified
in such an undertaking, since the Catalogue, completed
in 1882, included no book published after January,
1872. In 1902 it represented less than half the library,
and in 1903 the trustees authorized the librarian to
have two copies cut up, the titles to be mounted on
cards and inserted in the card catalogue of accessions,
thus forming one complete index to all works in the
library.

The years that were passing brought many changes,
due in no small measure to Mr. Cutter’s active brain
and generous spirit. He was a pioneer in library
science, originating at the Athenaeum many devices now
in general use. A writer in the Christian Union at this
time commended the library and referred to the court¬
eous treatment of visitors, the absence of red-tape, and

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

freedom from surveillance. Emerson and his daughter,
Sumner and his friends, all helped to give the Athe¬
naeum its reputation. If the place was rather public for
a proprietary library, few, if any, offered objections at
that time. To the reporter in search of “ copy” it was
a happy hunting ground ; and a writer in the Tran¬
script for December 22, 1870, thus describes his visit to
the Athenaeum : —

“ Presendy the librarian approached the table, bearing a
number of large volumes, followed by Senator Sumner, who,
sitting down, began to consult them, now and then taking
copious notes.

“ He had been seated but a short time, when ‘Tom Folio,’ 1
the worshipper of Charles Lamb — who delights in exhuming
from out the rubbish of old magazines and papers the stray
writings of ‘ Elia,’ Leigh Hunt, and other essayists, came
bustling in. Conferring with the librarian for a moment, they
both disappeared into one of the side rooms, from which, after
a short absence, they emerged, laden with sundry old volumes
which the indefatigable literary resuscitator bore away with him.
Hardly had the latter disappeared when the Rev. Mr. Mount-
ford, author of ‘ Thorpe,’ and a recently published work on
‘ Miracles, Past and Present,’ came in. Presently the polished
writer of ‘Six Months in Italy’2 entered, and while looking
over a collection of new publications, was joined by E. P.
Whipple, with whom he had hardly exchanged greetings, when
Ralph Waldo Emerson walked in, and the literary trio had a
pleasant undertoned chat together.”

with the changes and progress in Athenaeum history

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

during the last half of the nineteenth century. In 1846
John Amory Lowell was chosen Vice-President of the
Board of Trustees and held the office for fourteen years,
until he became President. During these years and
throughout his presidency, i860 to 1876, he devoted
his energy and his best thought to strengthening through
financial and administrative improvements the various
departments of the institution.

The presidency of the elder Charles Francis Adams
(1877-1879) was followed by that of Samuel Eliot,
whose service in that office was the longest during the
Athenaeum’s first century. Dr. Eliot was famed for
his command of felicitous English, and for his ease
and grace as a presiding officer. It was not uncom¬
mon for persons who had no interest in the annual
business of the Proprietors to ask permission to attend
the meetings, simply that they might listen to Dr.
Eliot.

The steady accession of books led to crowded
shelves, and forced frequent consideration of plans to
relieve the congestion. The Trustees finally determined
in 1888 to abandon the fine “Sumner staircase,” 1 which

1 Senator Sumner had served on the building committee in 1845 when
plans for the Beacon Street building were under consideration. His great
desire was for a spacious entrance. In a letter to his brother George he
said : “I am anxious to secure a large, generous, hospitable vestibule, hall
and stairway. I remember the stairs (by Bernini, I think) which lead to the
Vatican on the right of St. Peter’s. Can you send me the measurements
of these — width, height, breadth ? They were stairs of such exquisite pro¬
portions that you seemed to be borne aloft on wings.” — Pierce’s Sumner,
ii. 334.

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

occupied nearly one-fourth of the building, and to de¬
vote the space to an iron stack, to the never-ending
sorrow of the Proprietors. “ Amid all the debris of re¬
pairs,” said a writer in the Advertiser , “a small lantern
of primitive aspect is set midway on the floor of the
newly arranged narrow entrance as a beacon to the in¬
terior. A jog of imagination can make this lantern
figuratively recall the Athenaeum’s small beginnings as
a literary beacon to Boston.”

Mr. Cutter declined reelection as librarian early in
1893, and in April William Coolidge Lane, who had
been elected February 20th, came in from Harvard to
take up the administrative work. Mr. Lane’s first re¬
port chronicles many interesting changes, such as the
refurnishing of the Catalogue Room, including new
drawers for the catalogue, each holding a single row of
cards. A date card in the pocket, indicating when a
book should be returned, aided Proprietors, as did an
express and mail service for out-of-town readers. The
system of wood dummies for new books temporarily
withdrawn from their proper places on the shelves facili¬
tated the tracing of current books.

Of even more importance, although no reference to
this phase of Mr. Lane’s work appeared in print, were
his plans for simplifying and systematizing the methods
of work and of preserving records within the building.
Improvement along these lines had become imperative,
after a century’s growth of the Athenaeum from a small
reading-room.

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

Mr. Lane declined reelection in 1898, as he had been
appointed Librarian of Harvard University, and Charles
Knowles Bolton was chosen his successor.

A gradual alteration of the interior arrangement of
the Athenaeum has been made necessary by the changing
character of the buildings in the neighborhood. There
are now (1907) tall buildings on the north, east, and
west sides, forcing dependence almost wholly upon the
southern exposure for sufficient light for reading and
study rooms. This led to the policy of developing the
Beacon Street side of the building as a stack or place
for the storage of books, as distinguished from the side
facing the grave-yard, which was to be made more ser¬
viceable to readers.

There were constant drains upon the Library income
for repairs ; and some form of relief for the crowded
shelves, as well as adequate protection for the Athe¬
naeum from the increasing fire menace of neighboring tall
buildings, pressed for consideration. An opportunity
to sell the Athenaeum property in Tremont Place upon
advantageous terms brought before the Trustees, some¬
what unexpectedly, consideration of the future policy to
be pursued.

At a meeting of Proprietors in the Periodical Read¬
ing-Room on May 31, 1903, the Trustees were author¬
ized, after discussion, to sell the Tremont Place property ;
they were also given authority to purchase land on Ar¬
lington Street or elsewhere and to erect and equip a
suitable building. In accordance with this vote the

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

Trustees bought the three estates on the northerly corner
of Arlington and Newbury Streets, and the adjacent
estate on Newbury Street.

On November 27th, the Proprietors held a second
meeting at which the Trustees were authorized to sell
or make a contract for the sale of the real estate and
library building on Beacon Street ; but a change in the
financial conditions made it impossible at that time to
make an advantageous sale of the Beacon Street prop¬
erty. Meanwhile a feeling developed in favor of the
preservation of the building which had graced the city
for half a century. Proprietors who found the Beacon
Street site especially convenient joined with those who
were moved by this sentiment, and together they called
for a reversal of the previous policy. After many con¬
ferences and some discussion the Proprietors authorized
the Trustees to order such improvements and repairs in
the present building as they considered advisable, and
to make such disposition of the Arlington Street prop¬
erty, either by sale or lease, as they in their judgment
deemed best. The land on Arlington Street was sold
in 1906.

Extensive repairs were made at the Athenaeum dur¬
ing the summer of 1904, and in 1905. They included
fireproofing the northwest section of the building, an
elevator, and a new Trustees Room. The Trustees
Room has an architectural dignity which must com¬
mend it to Proprietors and to their friends. A cabinet,
containing objects of general interest, stands opposite

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

the fire-place. The walls of the room have been pan¬
elled simply and effectively. Below the panels there
are shelves filled with books; and above the panels,
resting on the cap of the wainscoting, there are paint¬
ings portraits of Athenaeum worthies, and busts of dis¬
tinguished literary men and statesmen. The great teak
table, made from a single board and presented to the
Athenaeum many years ago by Colonel Thomas H.
Perkins, occupies the centre of the room.

Many faces familiar to habitues of the Athenaeum are
not represented upon the canvases within its walls :
Mr. Spooner of the long beard, serious face and busy
pen ; Elijah Kellogg, short and affable, who read a chap¬
ter in the Athenaeum Bible every morning before losing
himself in the land of story books ; Mr. Ballou, the
urbane traveller ; Mr. Hawkes, who for years sat in the
same chair at the same desk writing his magnum opus;
David Balfour, a bachelor devoted to ameliorating the
condition of Scottish widows; and our present Mr.
Crockett, ever ready with recollections of Boston’s earlier
days.

Memory treasures also the distinguishing traits of
those whose lives have given color to the gallery of
daily visitors. At the British Museum “Napoleon,”
with heavy boots and spurs, for many years signed call-
slips and received his books, until an unfeeling realist
denied him royal prerogatives and turned him away.
Our annals should record Lowell’s “ Tommy No-nose,”
who holds a place in literature, and the more famous

<■

FIRST ONE HUNDRED YEARS

“ Peele,” who delighted mischievous lads by his vigor¬
ous opposition to noises of every description; as well as
the stately image of “ Queen Victoria,” and the trouble¬
some “King of Caramels.” Nor should we forget the
genius who conceived a monopoly of the morning news¬
papers by sitting upon two and holding one under either
arm, while he leisurely and placidly read a fifth ; nor
those creatures of time and habit — the gentleman who
retired to the hall regularly at eleven a. m. to eat a pep¬
permint, and that other methodical person who appeared
in his nankeen suit upon a fixed day each year to the
never-ending confusion of the north wind. They were
all devoted to the Athenaeum and their lives are a part
of its happy traditions.

Visitors from other cities where Athenaeums, founded
during the lifetime of William S. Shaw, have failed to
succeed, ask why the forerunner of them all retains its
vigor. One might answer that it lives because, like a
wise statesman, it serves its generation. When there
was no art gallery it provided one. After the Museum
of Fine Arts was founded, the Athenaeum withdrew from
the field. So it was with law, theology, and medicine.
When contemporary special libraries languished, the
Athenaeum absorbed their collections. As new special
libraries became firmly established, it again restricted its
field. When women, as a rule, read little beyond light
literature, it was a scholar’s retreat. To-day it is a
family library. One might add, also, that it has been
fortunate in its body of Proprietors. More than a thou-

56 THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

sand families devoted to letters have held its shares from
generation to generation, keeping the ranks complete —
an achievement that Bostonians may view with pride.

Its policy has been progressive, but, as far as possible,
without the spirit of unrest which sometimes charac¬
terizes the introduction of new library methods. The
best books for children now are purchased, and stand
together upon the shelves. Music scores by the great
composers may be taken out by Proprietors, although in
the earlier days only biographies of musicians and essays
on music were purchased.

The gift of a printing fund has afforded an oppor¬
tunity to begin a series of volumes, bibliographical and
historical, based upon the manuscripts and books owned
by the Library. This series will, it is hoped, extend the
usefulness and influence of the Athenaeum, and will be
the means of suggesting to Proprietors and others its
value as a depository of manuscripts and books.

Through all its various changes, the Athenaeum
has represented what was best in Boston. The “ golden
age” of New England literature grew with it and even
within its walls. Its traditions are a part of its life, and
are passed on from father to son. Because its ideals
have been high the Athenaeum has appealed to men who
lead as well as to those who follow. And with their
continued support success in the future seems assured.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS IN THE
ATHENAEUM

Every large library is expected to have the writings of
famous men and works of general interest in the vari¬
ous departments of learning. But in the accumulation
of books through successive generations a library be¬
comes conspicuous for growth in certain directions.
Special collections may be acquired by gift or by pur¬
chases systematically carried on for several years. The
Athenaeum has several of these collections which will
be noticed briefly for the benefit of students.

W a shin gtoni an a

From 1848 to 1855 subscriptions were gathered
in Boston for the purchase of part of the library of
George Washington, then owned by Henry Stevens
of London. Many of the volumes thus acquired bear
the armorial book-plate of Washington and his au¬
tograph ; they relate chiefly to agriculture and military
science. Three hundred and eighty-four volumes
belonged to the President, and others came from
the library of Bushrod Washington. A large collec-

THE BOSTON ATHENAEUM

tion of volumes and pamphlets relating to General
Washington has been added in recent years, so that
the student will now find practically everything of
importance. With the aid of one thousand dollars
from the executors of Thomas Dowse the Athenaeum
was able to issue a very complete catalogue of the col¬
lection, with exhaustive notes by Mr. A. P. C. Griffin,
the present Chief Bibliographer of the Library of Con¬
gress, and a scholarly study of Washington’s library as
recorded in the inventory of his estate prepared by Mr.
William C. Lane, now Librarian of Harvard Univer¬
sity. An excellent Index has been prepared by Mr.
Franklin O. Poole.

Byroniana

The collection of works of the poet Byron was
bought from Mr. J. W. Bouton in 1885. It num¬
bered two hundred and six volumes and forty-six pam¬
phlets, many of them first editions. In the course of
fifteen years other volumes were added, so that the
collection, while not complete, is representative.

Fine Arts

Among the valuable paintings retained in the build¬
ing, the larger part of the collection being deposited in
the Museum of Fine Arts, are four by Stuart, three
by Harding, and others by Neagle, Marshall and All-
ston. There are many rare pieces of early American
sculpture by Powers, Greenough, Frazee, and Crawford.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

In 1859 Mr. Thomas Dowse, seeing the need in
Boston of reproductions of famous paintings by old
masters in European galleries, sent an artist abroad, and
he made studies in water-color of fifty-two paintings.
These came to the Athenaeum in 1859.

A complete set of the Arundel chromolithographs
may be seen in the building; many have been framed.

The best reproductions without color now comprise
over ten thousand large carbon photographs, arranged
in portfolios under the names of artists. This great
collection has been brought together during a long
period of years, the Fine Arts Committee having given
careful attention to the selection of subjects. There
are also in the Art Room thousands of pictures rep¬
resenting sculpture and architecture, both classic and
modern ; and a large collection of books on art.

Views of Old Houses

The Thwing collection, 5600 views of old houses,
has both an antiquarian and an architectural interest.
Miss Thwing in 1903 presented a large number of pic¬
tures of houses and early views of towns. To this
collection have been added the wood engravings from
Gleason’s and Ballou’s Pictorial and from many other
works which could be had in duplicate for a trifling
sum. In 1907 two hundred photographs of Boston
streets and buildings, taken between 1850 and 1870,
were purchased from Mr. A. H. Rickards.

THE BOSTON ATHENiEUM

Confederate Literature

Mr. William F. Poole began many years ago to col¬
lect books and newspapers published in the Southern
States during the Civil War to illustrate the social life
and economic conditions of that period. This collec¬
tion has been called by Professor Ernst von Halle, an
authority on the subject, the largest of its kind in the
world. It includes medical and military works, school
books, time-tables, novels with covers made of wall¬
paper, and good files of periodicals.

First Editions of American Authors

Recent interest in the works of our chief New
England authors — Emerson, Hawthorne, Holmes,
Longfellow, Lowell, Thoreau, Whittier — has called
attention to the value of these writings as they first
came from the press, and before revision by their
authors in maturer life. It seemed best to withdraw
these volumes from general circulation ; it was then
found that the Athenaeum possessed an unusual col¬
lection. The titles wanting have been added from
time to time, and a carefully prepared catalogue may be
issued in the near future.

Early Boston Newspapers

The Athenaeum has been able to preserve in remark¬
ably good condition its files of early Boston newspapers.

In 1903 Miss Ayer prepared a Check- list cover-

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS 63

ing the period from 1690 to 1780. This list shows
every copy of every Boston paper issued during these
years now to be found in a dozen of the leading
libraries of the United States. The list, with an
historical introduction by Mr. Albert Matthews, a
Trustee, is now in press, and will appear as one of the
publications of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts.

The King s Chapel Collection

The library given to King’s Chapel in Boston by
William III. in 1698 has been in the custody of the
Boston Athenasum since 1823. It is the oldest col¬
lection of books in New England, and it illustrates
very clearly the literature enjoyed by a scholarly man
during the first century of life in the English colonies.

Early United States Documents

The Athenasum has possessed for many years one
of the best sets of early American Documents, based
in part upon the collections of John Adams and John
Quincy Adams. Following General A. W. Greely’s
check-list of Public documents of the first fourteen Con¬
gresses, 1789-1817, our documents were rearranged and
carefully catalogued. By exchange with the War De¬
partment and the Library of Congress many documents
were added, so that our representation of the first four¬
teen Congresses is worthy of special mention.

THE BOSTON ATHENiEUM

International Law

In 1879 Mr. George Bemis, a Proprietor, bequeathed
twenty thousand dollars, one half of the income for the
purchase of books, particularly works relating to inter¬
national law. The collection now includes complete
sets of the state papers of the chief countries of the
world, with series of treaties, and many monographs
and memoirs relating to subjects in International Law.
It is supposed to be the best collection in America
outside of Washington. Constant aid in the selection
of books has been given by Professors A. Lawrence
Lowell of Harvard and George G. Wilson of Brown
University.

Gypsy Literature

In May, 1901, it was announced that the trustees
of the estate of Mr. Francis Hindes Groome, of Edin¬
burgh, offered for sale his library of books, letters,
and manuscripts bearing upon the study of the Gypsies.
Mr. Groome has long been known as a writer for the
leading encyclopaedias and biographical dictionaries, as
well as the foremost authority in England, if not in the
world, on Gypsy lore. The sum required to purchase
this collection was subscribed by four proprietors of
the Athenaeum, Charles Pickering Bowditch, Thornton
Kirkland Lothrop, Albert Matthews, Henry Francis
Sears, and in October the collection was received. It
comprises over one hundred volumes. Some of these

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

are rare, and others contain scarce tracts and magazine
articles ; there are also Mr. Groome’s own books with
his marginal additions ; over thirty volumes of manu¬
script notes, lectures, etc. ; and his correspondence with
M. Paul Bataillard, the eminent French student of the
Gypsies, covering the years 1872 to 1880.

Broadsides and Manuscripts.

An account of the manuscripts in the Athenaeum
has been given by Mr. A. P. C. Griffin in a sup¬
plement to the Librarian’s Report for the year 1896.
Since that time, however, many have been added, and
the entire collection has been arranged and recatalogued.
The titles will be found in the card catalogue under the
heading cc Manuscripts in the Library.” The Ezekiel
Price papers, including court, notarial, and shipping
records, are of great antiquarian value. Aspinwall’s
Notarial Records from 1644 to 1657 have been pub¬
lished as volume thirty-two of the Boston Record
Commissioners’ Reports, and a Record of the County
Court at Boston from 1671 to 1680 will soon be
issued in the same series. Le Forestier’s Relation and
Topliff ’s Travels have appeared recently as publications
of the Robert Charles Billings Fund.

The large collection of broadsides includes many
unique or rare examples of the seventeenth and eigh¬
teenth centuries, with perhaps the best series now exist¬
ing of Fast and Thanksgiving Day Proclamations issued

by the governors of Massachusetts.

THE BOSTON ATHEKTUM

Roxburghe Club Publications

The very limited editions of the Roxburghe Club
publications have made it difficult to obtain a complete
set of these works. The volumes now on our shelves,
with a few to be added, will make the series complete.
The subjects treated have a wide range, including art,
history, literature, biography, and archaeology.

Dreyfus A ffair

“ L’affaire Dreyfus ” promised to throw so much
light upon military, legal, and social conditions in
France that practically every volume published there
has been acquired. In the collection are also many
volumes issued in England and the United States,
with some from almost every country in Europe.

Dutch History

In the year 1900 a Dutch bookseller’s advantageous
terms were accepted for a carefully selected collection
of over a thousand volumes illustrating the history of
the Netherlands and Dutch colonization. In this col¬
lection there are five contemporary pamphlets by and
relating to Sir George Downing, a graduate in the first
class at Harvard, 1642, and a representative of Crom¬
well and Charles I. in the Netherlands.

At a meeting of gentlemen held in the Academy’s Room in 1826,
Israel Thorndike, Jr, Amos Lawrence, John A. Lowell, George B.
Emerson, John C. Gray, John Lowell, Jr, Wm Sturgis, Daniel
Treadwell, Dr E. Hale and Edward Brooks were appointed a com¬
mittee to solicit subscriptions for a Scientific Library. Soon after,
the Athenaeum Trustees chose a committee composed of Nathaniel
Bowditch, Francis C. Gray, George Ticknor, Thomas W. Ward
and Francis J. Oliver to consider the expediency of “ uniting, in the
Athenaeum, the principal circulating libraries of this city” that the
deficiencies of the larger library might be overcome. The Medical
Library property and the subscriptions for the projected Scientific
Library were soon made over to the Athenaeum. See Quincy’s

proposition, made some months earlier, to sell “the original portraits
of Washington & his Lady . . . , painted at Philadelphia in 1796.”
A committee composed of T. H. Perkins and George Ticknor
“easily” raised $1,500.00, and the portraits were purchased from
Miss Jane Stuart, the legal owner, Mrs. Stuart at the same time sur¬
rendering “any right she might be supposed to possess.”
